The extracted index includes the Social Security Death Records Index, the Mortality Schedules, the lineage-linked databases 100, 101, and 102, and the Salt Lake City Cemetery records. Over 1.8 million individuals have been identified in these databases that contain birth year and location. Records that lacked both a year and a location were omitted from the compilation. Documents with a birth year after 1880 were also omitted. The Census index databases were not used because they lacked information on births. For the mortality schedules, birth year was estimated from age at death.

Once you find your ancestor’s name in this database, you can visit your local library’s genealogy department or Family History Center to see if the books are listed.
